Gerardo Rueda (1926–1996) - Composición sobre fondo verde

Excellent and representative original graphic work by Gerardo Rueda (Madrid, 1926 – 1996), one of the foremost exponents of abstract art in Spain, a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and co-founder of the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca.

This screenprint belongs to his last and most mature creative phase (1994). The piece displays the unmistakable visual language of the artist, structured through the superposition of pure chromatic planes, bold geometric shapes, and a suggestive organic-inspired background that evokes his famous compositions and three-dimensional collages.
